An intraocular melanocytic tumor was described in the eye of a 6-year-old, gray coat Arabian horse. Clinical, microscopical and macroscopical examination revealed that the tumor showed invasion to all of the ocular compartments as well as to nasal and dorsal regions. Microscopically; the tumor was poorly delineated and consisted of round, polygonal and spindle cells with having a different amount of melanin content. Secondary ocular changes including corneal ulceration, fibrinous plug, keratinization, vascularization, neutrophilic keratitis and pre-iridial fibrovascular membrane were also detected. There was no evidence of recurrence, metastasis or dermal melanoma development within one year after the operation.

Overall, the present report showed that diffuse equine intraocular tumor with extrascleral invasion could be successfully treated surgically with complete enucleation and exenteration of the orbit.
